We’re incredibly proud to announce that our apprentice, Liam du Plessis, has been named Apprentice of the Year by the Hereford and Worcester Apprenticeship Group Training (HWAGT).

Liam started his apprenticeship with us in September 2023, beginning his journey in our machine shop. Since then, he has worked his way through his apprenticeship, developing his skills, knowledge, and experience before progressing into a permanent role with the business.

His enthusiasm, positive attitude and willingness to take on new challenges have made him a valued member of the Haigh team, and this award is a fantastic recognition of his hard work and commitment.

Commenting on Liam’s achievement Managing Director, Jacob Shepherd, said:

“This is an incredibly well-deserved accolade for Liam. He’s such a bright, positive fellow, always asking what the puzzle is, playing it back to you and then getting stuck in to solving it.

“He has interesting thoughts, is always smiling and always puts his hand up for the extra project. He’s keen to learn new things, get involved in new projects and is generally an all-round superstar.

“We’re delighted for him and delighted he’s chosen to stay with us here at Haigh.”

We’d like to congratulate Liam on this fantastic achievement. It’s great to see his hard work and dedication recognised, and we look forward to seeing what he goes on to achieve as part of the Haigh team.
